It\u2019s part of a larger give back program that includes a long list of basketball organizations and leagues from the Brunson League (Baltimore), Ballin 4 Peace (New York), BRICK League (Ohio) and Ballin 4 Lupus (Atlanta) among others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div\n        class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\n        \"\n        data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"\n    ><\/p>\n<figure\n            class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \"\n            style=\"max-width:720px;\"\n        ><\/p>\n<div\n              \n              \n              class=\"image-block-wrapper\"\n              data-animation-role=\"image\"\n              \n  \n\n          ><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element\n              \n          \n        \n              has-aspect-ratio\n            \" style=\"\n                position: relative;\n                \n                  padding-bottom:100%;\n                \n                overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black);\n              \"\n              ><\/p>\n<p>                <img loading=\"lazy\" data-stretch=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"720x720\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Taking Over In Tanzania: Following the first season of Wooter Africa last year, Hamid Suleiman Ahmad remains focused on building a lasting basketball league and experience by urging his own community to come together for the love of the game of bask\u2026\" data-load=\"false\" elementtiming=\"system-image-block\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 75vw, 75vw\" style=\"display:block;object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-position: 50% 50%\" onload=\"this.classList.add(&quot;loaded&quot;)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/572a977a45bf21aba915b8ff\/1552452701269-DNX0B66RFSRQ4C4B30EN\/hamid+sulieman+ahmad+basketball+.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-loader=\"sqs\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-caption\">\n<p class=\"\">Taking Over In Tanzania: Following the first season of Wooter Africa last year, Hamid Suleiman Ahmad remains focused on building a lasting basketball league and experience by urging his own community to come together for the love of the game of basketball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Wooter Africa holds a very close place in the heart of Wooter Apparel.

Hamid created and designed everything &#8212; from the blue and white uniform for his team, to the African logo that graced the front of the jersey. Wooter handled production and delivery within a two-week period, and within those fourteen days a dream became a reality that reached from Staten Island,&nbsp;New York&nbsp;to East
